How To Control And Reduce Your Pain - Omron Max Power Relief PM500 Instruction Manual

9. HOW TO CONTROL AND REDUCE YOUR PAIN

When should I start therapy?
Use as soon as your pain begins. Start with one session (unit automatically turns off at 15
minutes).
Get to your pain early
If you get to your pain early, it may prevent the pain from becoming worse, or even
chronic. It's better for you to get it under control sooner so that it does not reach a high
pain threshold where it limits your daily activities.
How long should you use it?
Start with one 15-minute session. Rate your pain to check your progress, 1 low to 10 high.
Stop therapy session if pain has reduced or stopped. Press the "On" button to continue
therapy for another 15-minute session.
